The National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO-Ghana) has extended its warm congratulations to COP (Rtd) Nathan Kofi Boakye on his recent elevation to the National Police Council. Boakye, who currently serves as Director of Operations at the Presidency, was sworn in as a member of the Council on June 10, 2025.
In an official statement signed by NARPO-Ghana’s National Secretary, DCOP George Anko-BIL (Rtd), the association praised Kofi Boakye’s appointment as a significant recognition of his leadership, professionalism, and longstanding dedication to the Ghana Police Service.
The association highlighted that his presence on the Council represents the interests of retired senior officers and could positively influence ongoing efforts to integrate NARPO-GH into the national constitutional framework.
The association expressed optimism that Kofi Boakye’s elevation will help accelerate the formal recognition of retired officers within Ghana’s constitutional framework, particularly through the ongoing constitutional review process.
President John Dramani Mahama officially swore in members of the reconstituted Police Council in accordance with Article 201 of the 1992 Constitution. The Vice President, H.E. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, chairs the Council, which plays a crucial role in overseeing matters related to police professionalism, discipline, transparency, and human rights.

In his remarks, President Mahama stressed the importance of the Police Council in ensuring fairness, professionalism, and integrity within the Service. He tasked the Council with addressing challenges relating to promotions, postings, seniority, and internal concerns that affect morale and effectiveness within the force.
Vice President Opoku-Agyemang, in her acceptance speech, pledged to lead the Council with transparency and a firm commitment to restoring honour, trust, and inclusivity within the Police Service.
